I sat down with Dan Briggs, bass player for Between the Buried and Me, to talk about their new album The Blue Nowhere.
We got into the creative process, the band’s history with Jamie King, and how small ideas can grow into big moments on a BTBAM record.
Dan also shared thoughts on joining Inside Out Music and seeing a label as a true curator, memories of touring with The End, and building his vocabulary of reaction.
Crown Lands’ Kevin and Cody join me to discuss their new releases Ritual I & II. We get into the meditative sound of the records, their connection to the larger Fearless narrative, and the financial challenges of crossing the border for shows.
I sat down with Steven Andrews, a Fringe veteran and registered nurse, to talk about his one-person show One Last Touch.
Based on his own story, the show is funny, heartfelt, and a little raw — exploring love, health scares, judgments we make about others, and the healing power of human connection. Steven mixes humor with heavy truths, weaving in everything from nursing to witch hunting to the impact of a single hug.
We also ...
Kiwi comic Sully O. Sullivan joined me live on-air at @local107.3fm during @fundyfringefestival to talk about his show A Complete Idiot’s Guide to New Zealand and his first time gigging “way out east.”
We cover New Zealand culture, the difference between Fringe and club crowds, and how a simple Halifax–Saint John trip turned into an odyssey.
Catch him next at @halifaxfringefestival on Sunday, Aug 31 at 1:30 PM

– The chaotic joy of fight-based theatre
– Writing and building an entire show in 30 days
– Video games, doomscrolling, and emotional storytelling
– Stage combat, safety, and why yo...
On this week’s episode of The Radical Fabulatorium, I talk with Brynn and Emily — longtime friends and collaborators — about their darkly comedic one-woman show The Prick, which just wrapped at the Fundy Fringe Festival and is headed next to the Halifax Fringe.
Recorded live at Local 107.3FM, this conversation dives into the joy of making weird theatre with people you trust, the strange and beautiful life of a cactus metaphor, what ...
In this episode, I catch up with disability rights advocate Kurt Goddard. We talk about his work with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the difference between legal and supported decision-making, and the very real impacts of ableism in everyday life.
We also get into AI, morning run clubs, old-school file sharing, figure skating, and how a broken ankle may have inspired a paramedic’s career.
In this episode, I talk with Kathryn Taylor and Charlie Hume, co-founders of Starr Street Productions, about their new play A Guide to Collecting Antique Maps, premiering at this year’s Fundy Fringe Festival in Saint John, New Brunswick.
The play is a dark comedy about a couple in rural Oregon whose quiet life is disrupted when one of them leaves for what may—or may not—be a cult. As the story unfolds, it asks a complex question: Wh...
In this episode, I sit down with Tall Mark, musical artist and performer, to talk about his show Eat It Anyway, presenting at the 13th annual Fundy Fringe Festival in Saint John, New Brunswick.
Tall Mark describes the show as a “bard jester” autobiography told through non-fiction absurd realism—blending satire, compassion, and musical storytelling. It’s a joyful, goofy, and unexpectedly profound solo piece filled with original songs...
In this episode, I talk with Alan Fehr, creator and performer of The Naked Mennonite—a provocative one-person show that blends gay burlesque with Mennonite history and theology.
We talk about why he created the show, how it evolved from comedy into emotional vulnerability, and what it’s like to perform with a Bible in hand. Alan shares stories of unexpected audience reactions, challenges common stereotypes about Mennonite identity, ...
In this episode, I talk with Mark McColgan, crew chief of the Saint John Trail Running Club, about how he went from hating running to becoming a central figure in Saint John’s growing trail scene.
We get into how trail running differs from road running, the stories behind races like Looney Loops and Bootstrap Boogie, and how the club grew into a 5,000+ member community. We also talk safety tips, night running, gear (yes, chafing is ...
In this episode, I talk with André, Joel, and Robby—members of Pixel.wav, a 10-piece nerdy-orchestral ensemble bringing Final Fantasy music to life in a fresh, genre-bending way.
We dig into how the band formed, the struggle to pick a name, and the joy (and chaos) of arranging iconic video game scores for live performance. They share how they chose their set list, created medleys, balanced the ensemble, and kept things fun and surpr...
